Mojo 435 Wishing Poppies

Monday, February 15, 2016

Hi friends! It's Monday again and that means it's time for another Mojo Monday sketch! This week is an easy one with lots of clean lines. I pulled out the recently restockedPoppy Birthday set and got inky!

I started with my two rectangle panels (both 2" x 4") from scraps on my desk. I cut the flower with the Build a Poppy Die Set (expected in stock later this week), then stamped the coordinating flowers and leaves on the die cut pieces. Each layer is sponged with brushed corduroy and then layered together. I cut a 3.25" square and stamped the sentiment in the center, then randomly stamped flowers around the edges in peach parfait, calypso coral and pool party. I did the same for the outer cram cardstock later, sponged all my layers with brushed corduroy and layered them together, adding a couple of tiptop taupe mats to set things off a bit.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful start to your week. For more inspiration with this sketch, be sure to check out the Mojo Monday blog today for all the designer samples.
